Too Tall for Burrow?

Hi all,
I am ready to pull the trigger on a Burrow TQ. I am 6'0" do i need a long Burrow? or is the standard 74" ok? Also what is everyone's take on overfill? Yes?, No?, How much?
Same questions above for a Incubator UQ too...do I need a long? Overfill?

If anybody has some experience with these please weigh in..I really appreciate it.

I have a 20 degree burrow that is the regular length and width. I am 6'1 and about 270 and it fits me fine. I was a little nervous about getting the regular but once I got it, it fit perfect. As for the overfill, Adam told me it will help it loft out quicker and will also prevent the down from shifting much. I have a 20 degree phoenix that has 2 oz overstuff and it is nice and lofty and will take me down to 10 to 15 degrees Im guessing. I really think that HG uses such high quality down, I hear a lot of people taking there HG quilts lower than the temp rating and not having any issues. Outstanding products and people!!

I'm 6'2" and have the regular length Burrow and Incubator. Your concerns were the same as mine when I was trying to decide. I went with the regular length and have never regretted it.

My Burrow has no overstuff and it has done me well. My Incubator didn't have any either, but as I camped into the low 20s, I found my personal comfort to be about 25-28* for the 20* rating. I eventually ripped a seam and added about 1.5 oz of "overstuff." Took it to 20* with no issues back in February. With no overstuff, I would get migrating cool spots thru the night as the down would shift slightly when I rolled over. With overstuff, there is no room for migration.

The newer UQ suspension he uses now helps a lot with CBS. I redid mine old version with great results.
